Prototype Airsoft Trip Mine.

The airsoft land mine I bought was a pitiful waste of $50. The self proclaimed "loud boom followed by a large blast of powder" was a tiny pop and half inch high puff. Enemies didn't even notice that they triggered it. This is the prototype version of my trip mine. It throws BBs about twenty-eight feet and baking soda about five. It is spring powered and acts like a piston; the spring is attached (by a washer and screw) to a plug. To operate, place the spring mechanism inside the pipe. Push it down with a plunger and lock the plug in place with the pin. As soon as I finish the final version I will post an Instructable. http://www.instructables.com/id/Build-an-Airsoft-Trip-Mine/

why cant u use a ruberband holoow out a pen use the ink stick atach it to a ruber band and when you step on it a jet stream of bbs coming at you but nice idiea but mine is more compact but what i tested and a really good spring agnist my mine it has a 75% chance of hiting the target a ruberband is doing that and youre ideia 25% chance

Not a bad plan, but the problem is you have to find the right spring.when i tried to make something like this it would be too hard to pull the string and my target (best friend) didnt set it off, saw it, and came running after me with a 2x4.the second time it was easy to set off, but the spring wasnt powerful enough to make the bbs go far enough.

my refined mine, is near perfect. but it took alot of thinking to get it.

pretty clever. I'm always amazed at the lengths people who play Airsoft and Paintball go to to add just that little extra to the game to make it more like real combat, check those angles! It'd be nice to see a video of this in action!
